Colorado River milage system and ancillary attribute data for connecting to hydrodynamic model output in Glen Canyon, AZ

These data were compiled to support stranding risk modeling of young-of-year rainbow trout in Glen Canyon resulting from fluctuating flows from Glen Canyon Dam, called Trout Management Flows (TMFs). The objective of our study was to evaluate the stranding risk associated with different TMFs. We used the results of a 2-dimensional hydrodynamic model (Wright and others, 2024) as input to a rainbow t

Burn Severity Assessment of the 2021 Horne Fire at Isle Royale National Park

The 2021 Horne Fire on Isle Royale National Park (ISRO) ignited when lightning struck the island near Duncan Bay on August 10, 2021, during elevated drought conditions. Per the National Park Service, it would continue to burn slowly and spread until a wind event on August 21, 2021 caused significant spread and initiated a control effort to protect historical structures in Tobin Harbor. The fire wa

Tissue-specific bioconcentration of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances by fathead minnows from contaminated groundwater at a fire-training area, Cape Cod, Massachusetts from 2019

This data release presents chemical and biological results from an investigation of the uptake of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from groundwater contaminated by fire training activities on Cape Cod, Massachusetts conducted from July to August 2019. An exposure experiment was conducted at an a PFAS contaminated site (FTA-1) near the fire training area (FTA). To assess the tissue-specif

Longitudinal assessment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and co-occurring inorganic and organic contaminants in Neshaminy Creek, Pennsylvania, November 2021

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and co-occurring inorganic and organic contaminants are widely distributed in the environment and understanding their surface water sources is critical for water resource management. In November 2021, 13 sites were sampled along a stream reach in the Neshaminy Creek basin in southeastern Pennsylvania utilizing a time of travel sampling approach. The reach

Water chemistry data observed in experimental laboratory mesocosms exposed to different nitrapyrin and nitrogen amendments in the presence or absence of a nitrifier enriched microbial (NEM) community

These data describe the results of a controlled laboratory mesocosm experiment evaluating the effect of nitrapyrin, a nitrification inhibitor, on nitrification in a nitrifier enriched microbial (NEM) community. Parameters described include the water chemistry and nitrapyrin measurement results of experimental mesocosms. Microbial community data is described in a separate data release.

Growth and survival of a Unionid Mussel (Fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea) and a Common Test Benthic Organism (Amphipod, Hyalella azteca) during Chronic Exposures to Mixtures in Sediment Contaminated by Unregulated Industrial Discharges.

This data set contains toxicity data from 28- and 84-day sediment bioassays to assess the effects of contaminated Kanawha River, West Virginia sediment on juvenile mussels (fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea) and one commonly tested benthic invertebrate (amphipod, Hyalella azteca) following ASTM standard methods for conducting 4-week sediment toxicity tests with the mussel and amphipod. In addition,

Synthetic seismogram data for 3D converted wave reverse time migration imaging of subduction zone structure

The dataset consists of synthetic seismograms recorded using the SPECFEM3D wave propagation software. Data from 8 isotropic earthquake sources were recorded at 630 stations while data from 8 realistic earthquakes were recorded at 520.

Chemical and isotopic compositions of gases from volcanic and geothermal areas in California

Gas chemical and isotopic compositions are reported for samples collected from 9 volcanic and geothermal areas in California: Medicine Lake Volcano, Mount Shasta, Lassen Volcanic Center, Clear Lake Volcanic Field, Mono Lake Volcanic Field, Long Valley Caldera, Mammoth Mountain, Coso Volcanic Field, and Salton Sea Geothermal Field. Beginning in 2014, gas samples were collected as part of the USGS C

Carbon dioxide flux measurements at and adjacent to the Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine, Clear Lake Volcanic Field, California

The 2.1 Ma Clear Lake Volcanic Field (Donnelly-Nolan and others, 1981) and the 174 km2 Clear Lake are located ~150 km north of San Francisco, California. Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine (SBMM) is an abandoned mine located on the eastern shore of Clear Lake that was initially worked in 1865 for sulfur, then for mercury until it closed in 1957 (White and Roberson, 1962). The mine was declared a Superfund

Dike Fields and Macrohabitats of the Lower Missouri River

This project summarizes broad, two-dimensional spatial availability of fish habitat across the Lower Missouri River (from its confluence with the Big Sioux River near Sioux City, Iowa downstream to its confluence with the Mississippi River near St. Louis, Missouri). One of the main objectives of the project was to delineate and categorize dike fields, which we define as areas directly downstream f

Macroinvertebrate communities in Delmarva Peninsula streams, 2022

From 2 April - 29 April 2022, a Virginia Tech team of 2-3 sampled the macroinvertebrate community in 30 Coastal Plain streams (Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, USA) as part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology, water quality, flow, temperature,fish community, and fish health at the same 30 streams. Macroinvertebrates were sampled using a 250 micrometer m
